Abstract: Zeunerite occurs near the surface of a granite stock on the southwest flank of Brooks Mountain, Alaska. The largest deposit is at the Foggy Day prospect where zeunerite is disseminated in hematite which partially or totally fills openings and vugs in a highly oxidized lensshaped body of pegmatitic granite and to a minor extent in openings and cracks in the weathered granite enclosing the lens. Although a few specimens from the pegmatitic lens contain as high as 2.1 percent equivalent uranium, the overall average content of the lens rock is between 0.1 and 0.2 percent equivalent uranium and about …

Description
Abstract: Zeunerite occurs near the surface of a granite stock on the southwest flank of Brooks Mountain, Alaska. The largest deposit is at the Foggy Day prospect where zeunerite is disseminated in hematite which partially or totally fills openings and vugs in a highly oxidized lensshaped body of pegmatitic granite and to a minor extent in openings and cracks in the weathered granite enclosing the lens. Although a few specimens from the pegmatitic lens contain as high as 2.1 percent equivalent uranium, the overall average content of the lens rock is between 0.1 and 0.2 percent equivalent uranium and about 0.07 percent equivalent uranium for both the lens material and the surrounding zeunerite-bearing granite.
